Updating Homestead

Use "homestead update"

Ah, thanx! That worked. Didn't see that in the documentation and my own notes still said vagrant box update.

So now it added a 0.2.2 folder to .vagrant.d/boxes/laraval-VAGRANTSLASH-homestead/

There are also the 0.1.8 en 0.2.0 folders still there. Can I remove those somehow?

What is updating there. It takes ages.

@emrahatilkan it's updating the homestead box file.

I cannot update Homestead due to this error:

$ homestead update

What's wrong?

There are apparently problems with Amazon S3 storage just now (check the 'Amazon Simple Storage Service (US Standard)' on the service page http://status.aws.amazon.com/. I think hashicorp use that for the back-end storage. Lots of other sites are having issues just now too.

vagrant global-status

vagrant box update "your-box-id"

@vladimir , you need to remove the partial download

Windows: In your home directory, delete all the files in: .vagrant.d\tmp

LINUX \ MAC: rm ~/.vagrant.d/tmp/*

I'm using homestead-7 and to update the box I just run the command below:

homestead box update

homestead box update, is the new proper command to update.

@yazeed and @claudios this is not reflecting in the docs: https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/homestead#updating-homestead

No mention of homestead box update at all

@robjbrain If I am not wrong the reason is that the homestead commands are only forwarded to vagrant if you look at the homestead command it uses this:

function homestead() {
    ( cd ~/Homestead && vagrant $* )
}

Basically it means, wherever you are on your system it takes you to your project and runs the vagrant commands there. So if you run:

$ homestead list-commands

you can see all commands available to the homestead command
